This was good and simple. There wasn't much flavor going on, but that can be a nice change from other really robust, rich meals. I tasted it after about six hours and wasn't too happy, but after about 8 hours the soup had reduced some and the pepper and onion were soft and their flavors had mellowed. I double the thyme and need to add more salt. We thought this would make a great base for chowder. Thanks for posting the recipe.

I made this yesterday using fresh pumpkin from the garden and I red pepper (instead of green) for the color. I susbtituted the cornstarch with 2 small potatoes. I cooked it with pressure cooker and used less in quantity but more concentrated broth to speed the recipe. After cooking I used the hand blender to make he soup smootth.The additions of Thyme was excellent and made this recipe "different" for other pumpkin soups. This warming soup was delicious and we enjoyed it with homemade bread. Thanks a lot for posting this recipe.
